Application filed June 11, 1919. Serial No. 303,403.

To all wlw/ml t may concern:

Be it known that I, NATHAN RUBENSTEIN, a citizen of the United States, and residing at New York, New York county, and New York State, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sadirons, of which the following` a. specification.

This invention relates to sad irons and its object is to provide a hollow iron with an inlet for a steam pipe and an outletfor the condensed water and means for releasing steam at the under surface of the iron and controlling the same at the handle and where it is adapted to be operated by the finger of the operator. The construction of the iron also permits ofthe efectual insula- .tion of the operators hand from the heat of the iron and the whole forms a simple, compact and substantial` device capable of considerable wear and tear, as will be more fully described in the following specification, set forth in the appended claim, and

illustrated in the accompanying drawings,

wherein:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the iron. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view. Fig. 3 is a rear elevation. l Fig. 4 is a plan View of the iron with the cover removed.

.Fig. 5 is a modied detail.

Fig. 6 is adetail plan view of the operating1 lever.

he body 10 of theiron is of ordinary shape and of appropriate weight and has passages 11 bored partly through its length with a plug at the outer end and having outlets 12 at the bottom surface of the iron, and 13 bored vertically, both communicating and the latter having a gooseneck 14 that connects the passage 11 with the interior of the iron.

At the rear end of the interior of the iron is a pocket 15 and through the rear of the iron and near this point extends the twin pipes 16 and 17 carried by a threaded plug 18 that screws into a hole in the iron.

The ypipe 17 extends ldownward into the pocket 15 and is adapted when the cock 19 is open to drain the condensed water that is collected in said pocket and carry it oli' through suitable flexible piping shown in dotted lines and connected by the coupling 20.

A flexible pipe is also connected with pipe '16 by means of the coupling 21 and deiron and heats the same and provides the necessary steam spray for the outlets 12.

In the goose-neck 14 is a cock 22 nor-` mally closed and having an arm 23 which is engaged by a fork 24 on a bell crank lever pivoted to the handle 25 by abolt 26 and having the knob 27 in proximity to the thumb of the operator while he grasps the said handle 25 so the bell crank lever may be manipulated to cause the jaw 28 of the fork to depress the arm 23.

As shown in the detail in Fig. 6 the lower jaw of the fork, 29, has an oil' set 30 that covers the end of a plunger 31 adapted to be depressed in a socket 32 of the iron and supported in its extended position by the coil spring 33 but both throwing back the bell crank lever on its pivot until arrested by the stop 34 on the handle.

Another form of manipulator for the admission of steam to the sprayer is shown in Fig. 5 where the knob 35 Aor flat piece is forced outward by the thumb of the right hand of the operator and the jaw 36 depresses the end of the lever 37 fulcrumed on the nose 38 and elevates at its other end the valve stem 39 which may be normally held down by a spiral spring or other means.

When the steamn is admitted to the iron by means of the tube 16 it will heatY the same and may be confined therein, but on opening the cock 19 the steam and condensed water may pass outward and the steam allowed to circulate through the iron tocause su'flicient heat for practical `purposes.

After. the iron has been heated and its work begun the cock 22 may be opened byA v and heat will cause it to spread over a wide area.

The handle of the ordinary iron is apt to become uncomfortably hot to the serious inconvenience of the operator, so to protect his hand and to practically disconnect the handle from the iron, washers 40 of nonconductive material are interposed between ianges 41 at the lower ends of the handle and the cover 41 of the iron and through which bolts 42 pass and also secure a diaphragm 43 of non-conductive material for heat while the knob 27 may also be of some non-conductive or heat radiating material.

It is obvious that the parts may be other- Wise arranged or modified Without departing from the essential features above described or from the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim as new is.:

In a sad iron, the combination of an iron having an interior chamber and an L-shaped passage in its lower and front Walls and outlets from the passage through the-lower Wall, means for circulating steam through the chamber, an exterior pipe adapted to pass the steam from the chamber to the passage, a cock in the pipe, a handle'seoured to the iron, a diaphragm between the handle and the iron, a bell-crank lever pivoted 1 5 to the handle and having a knob on one end and adjacent the front end of said handle, and a fork on the other end of the bell NATHAN RUBENS'TEIN.
